Which Brand of Robotic Vacuums is the Best?

The high-tech revolution is ongoing and with each new year, there are at least a few inventions that change the way we perceive our daily routine. Are you tired of traditional house cleaning that comprises either brushing, mopping or dragging your vacuum cleaner around the rooms? If the answer is yes, then we’ve got something for you.

Though it is not yet as popular as it will become in the course of the next few years, the robot vacuum is a product that can help with house cleaning, with little to no effort coming from your side. You can even go ahead and lie on the couch while the cleaning process is ongoing.

So, we decided to do some research and figure out what are the best robot vacuum brands. In that process, we came up with a few of the best models as well, to help you with that decision.

iRobot 

The first company we will be reviewing is the iRobot (Roomba) that was founded three decades ago, with the main purpose of manufacturing advanced technology products. Just a couple of years back they managed to wow the market with their innovative idea of robotic vacuums, and now they stand as the lead in this area.

Apart from other autonomous products like moppers, their vacuum cleaners revolutionized the way people see house cleaning. While they offer several different models, all coming at reasonable prices given the high quality, our current favorite is the iRobot Roomba 671.

iRobot Roomba 671

If you are a tech enthusiast and you don’t enjoy the traditional house cleaning, this iRobot product is just the right product for you. We instantly fell in love with the attractive and elegant design that makes this product a superb choice for indoor cleaning (black, elegant, portable).

While we are sure that this product is going to be upgraded in the future, it already has more than a few innovative features that make it reliable, including the 3-phase cleaning process. After loosening and lifting the dirt, it sucks it into the compact leak-resistant canister, ensuring that both wet and dry residue are gone. This is also due to the dual multi-surface brushes and dirt detect sensors that will ensure the Roomba 671 doesn’t leave a single spot behind.

As for its durability, you can expect it to last for 90 minutes at a time before it needs recharging, and you can control it over a number of interfaces including Alexa and Google Assistant. As we have mentioned above, what makes it the best robot vacuum is the compact design that allows it to get under and beyond any furniture.

The reliable customer service and limited-warranty to cover for any manufacturer's defects are a bonus. Overall, for the price you are paying, this robotic vacuum is the best deal that you can get.

Features

• 3-phase cleaning and filtration system that will ensure excellent results and no residues left
• Runs on any surface including ceramic tiles and Shug carpets due to its dual-surface brushes

Neato Robotics

Somewhat younger than the iRobot company, Neato Robotics was found in 2005 and is now situated in California. It came up with its first robotic vacuum cleaner 2010, offering good quality, and innovative design for what then seemed an affordable price. 

For many, the choice of the best robotic vacuum brand will come down to these first two: Neato vs Roomba and we agree they are both excellent choices.

While Neato's robot vacuums are more costly than some competitors, their design and convenient mapping make it worth it. The model with which they entered the stage, has undergone more than a few upgrades since; it is the Neato Botvac and stands as the highlighted model of one of the best robot vacuum brands on the market.
